Hey you, yes YOU, the random person that I will never meet. I truly hope you find your happiness in this life. Today will be a great day for you.. keep your head up. We need you here :)

Thank you for this beautiful song Ray, today 9.20.23. A month ago my younger brother was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and I was with him when the doctors said he had a four to six week window in which to live, ones of the hardest moments in a person's life to hear those words, the following day my brother and I were sharing stories of our childhood and loving memories of our Mom and how she made us laugh and always appreciated being outside with family and friends, my brother started to cry when heard this song for the first time, I said I was going to see Ray in Wallingford Connecticut, and he said please get Ray singing this song and play it for me, my brothers in the VA Hospital in West Haven. I will iPhone this song and play it for him after the show, the cancer has him in the final stages, but I promised him and I will play him this song that gave him peace in these final weeks. Thank you Ray, for writing songs that are truly meaningful to so many people.

I played a lot of Ray's music for my wife when she was in the hospital for the last time. Today marks four years to the day that I lost her. This song speaks to me in a way that I can't put into proper words. I miss her so...

"They don't know that growing up, is learning pain" Damn dude. That hit me hard.

This guy just touches your soul with every chord

Just play Ray in the streets and the world will be OK.

I have shed many tears to this song.

Wow, the whole album is accoustic, simple and deep. Very colorful and full of emotion... . One of his best in recent years, in my opinion. Wow. A real gift to the soul...it made me cry more than once.Thank you so much Ray. Had the chance to meet you and chat with you a bit at an outdoor show in Vermont. You're genuine, exactly like your songs. One hell of a guy. Bless you for the heart felt songs. Your music has made a difference in my life. Thank you.

Since my wife died one year ago this song is exactly how I have felt every day. Thanks Ray for this song." I really want to feel something real before I die" to

This man was born to make music and share himself with the world.

Wow Ray...how do you write songs that just cut our souls wide open? Amazing. God has blessed you with an unbelievable and powerful gift

“I just want to wake up underneath that open sky and I just want to feel ..something real before I die..”

Hauntingly beautiful! Ray’s music comforted me through one of the most difficult periods of my life and now I keep listening because it suits my eclectic tastes and feeds my soul.

Such a calming song. Just beautiful. Thank you 🎶🌈

Probably the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard... I would love for this to play at my funeral

Mr. Lamontagne, when our new normal settles please go on tour!!! I would love to see you live and my so so deserving daughter would love it even more :) TIA

What a ride. What a record. Summons the souls from CCR, Van Morrison, John Denver, Beatles, Cat Stevens and yet is very his own sound. Thank you Ray. A longtime fan from Argentina.

This is one of the most breathtakingly bittersweet songs every written. I don't really know this guy, I'm from UK and he isn't well known here, but damn this hits hard.

Omg...😢the eve of my late brother's birthday. Lost him in Dec '21, and he speaks to me thru this song...💔😘

He can tear my heart apart with his songs. I feel he is emotionally authentic not just an entertainer.

I forgot how this song used to put me in just the title Highway to the Sun it just sounds so soothing to the soul Loving and Leaving when there is no more its a ❤ breaker but crying is healing the soul Ray voice is like a Wonderful dream❤❤❤

He´s back, He´s back!!

Maybe your best song ever. Very simple but oh, those lyrics and emotion. Well done sir.

Oh wow! Tears flowing. Really makes me miss my precious Mom who passed away only 3 months ago. I was her Primary Caregiver and she was suffering, but I didn't want her to leave. We only have one Mother and mine was the best. I thank God for a Godly Mother who taught me well. I love you most, Momma and will see you again someday. 💔😢🙏🏻❤️😘

Back to the sound that put him on the map as one of the greats. Thank God.

This is the song 🎶 that hooked me to love and appreciate his TALENTED VOICE🎉 October here we come on the 2nd in Cherokee 🎉🎶❣️

This one gives me chills. Incredibly beautiful and touching.

The whole album is masterpiece. Best regards from Zagreb, Croatia

So sad and so beautiful... Thank you for this song that touches my heart. ❤

I've been in love with all your music, but this one went deep. It mirrored my soul for so many days and nights. Now when I re-listen it comforts me.

"Just want to feel something real before I die" . . . Maybe it`s time for a highway to the sun... Thanks Ray !

Ray at his best, the chilled vibe of his newer stuff but with the raw emotion of his earlier work. Genius

These comments though. Heartbreakingly beautiful

My gosh how this man’s voice has improved! Impressive !!!!!!

Whoever is your lady in your journey is a blessed soul. You are so awesome and real. I dig your style and heart. Peace be with you always my earth brother. Hugs. This one I felt a tear fall. I can relate so well. Beautiful song. I loved it. Thankyou bless you.

Growing up is learning pain 😢

Sure speaks to the emotions when you lose that person you loved and lost. Ray can sure sing it so well. Beautiful song.❤️

Simply brilliant by ray..again and again..he just delivers ..

The widower was in love with the widow. He was convinced she loved him as much as he loved her. He was looking to make a life together. She ultimately was looking for a way out. He went all Cortez and was setting fire to the ships. Instead, she was lighting a match to the bridge that connected them. It's been 8 months and he still wonders why. He grieved the loss of his lovely wife. He now grieves the loss of the lovely widow. He's been moving forward but now knows it's time to move on. It's time that he gets on that highway to the sun. Surely he'll find someone heading in the same direction.

My weary soul needed this, Thank you Ray ❤❤

Sing it Ray!!

Absolutely Beautiful, I lost my beautiful loving Momma on 5/6/20, the pain is unbearable! I was in my Jeep (which she loved to cruise around with me along with coffee) and this song came on "The Coffee House" I just cried and made me feel like it was momma contacting me. Thank you and Bless you, Ray.

Just 1 person that's REAL before I die ✌❤

my eyes are thankful, they felt kind of dry

I'm 15 year in... I've listened to Ray's voice more than anyone in my life. THIS IS MY FAVOURITE RAY SONG ☀️🌎

It is true, when you're alone, you just want to feel SOMETHING REAL BEFORE YOU DIE... I'm still crying

Beautiful song for anyone. Could make a Movie from it. Hearing this goes deep within my heart. Losing so many loved ones . It sure brings up memories . Good ones though.

Incredible beautiful voice. ❤️❤️❤️

A song to myself. Thank you Ray for a soul as deep as mine.

This song reminds me of someone so special

You’re a beautiful man, I hear it. Thanks

This is too good, the whole album is amazing💖💖💖✨✨✨

So real and so raw Truth spoken in every lyric...

He calms the soul.

Fireside, dark beers and Ray. Love Aussie winters.

Only beautiful things in 2020.

One of your best sir , one of your best !!!

Favorite Song Ever!

This song really hits home, what a beautiful song!

Stuck on KZfaq listening to this man... pure soul.. true spirit speaks through him.. ❤️🎼

This is the one that really does it all for me on this album. This one has the beautiful heartache and melancholy that I love so much about Ray. And those harmonies! mercy me. No one can do it quite like he can. Thanks Ray. So beautiful.

Ray you are quite simply the most authentic soulful artist. I love your music. I love your lyrics. X

Like my friend said about his lady used to listen this him before she took her journey well this songs so reminds me of my lady I lost five yrs ago I know she’s smiling so happy I found it

'ya know fella when one has had a fulfilling life, then one wonders why wish for more?

I really love this song. Thank you.

God gifted you Ray...thank you for sharing that gift with us...

Thank God I hadn't heard this song right after my unwanted divorce... I would have been crying every time I play it! Now, I just have it on repeat and reflect.

I love this style from him!

"I hear children singing songs, playing games... They don't know, that growing up, is learning pain" ✨️In their innocence, they find joy, unburdened by the weight of life's trials. May we remember their light and approach each day with the same grace, accepting that pain is part of growth and wisdom. ✨️

This album was a masterpiece!

Ray. This is the song that I just broke down and cried. Just can’t stop

Only this to make the year better ❤️

Gorgeous! he is shining bright on this album.

Love you for this one Ray! 😎

This beautiful song tears at my heart ❤

I can honestly say that no artist has made me feel like my soul has been embraced like he does. I FEEL every chord. Thank u for that

💓Ray’s always singin’ my heart…💞🕊

so beautiful ❤️

I first heard this song from someone who came into my life then left just as quick,he sent this song to me! But when I hear it I just imagine laying in a field of wild flowers, warm sun .. thank you M.C....

Amazing love you Ray beautiful I feel this

I lost my husband in December 2019 in a trucking accident., and when I heard this song It was like he was speaking to me .this is a beautiful song 💔💔

Simply brilliant. Best album yet. Love it Ray.

Never disappoints. What a pleasure to listen too. Always makes me stop to relax and reflect on life.

The album is all heart like every other Ray album

I realize that this song may be more about the death of a loved one, but as someone who is finalizing a divorce this week after 27 years, from a person who just no longer exists as I knew her... and myself rapidly approaching 50 as I start my life over in a tailspin, every word of this song still hits me like a Mack truck.

I’m so very sorry for your loss my friend ❤️🍁

This song is so beautiful so much of a story telling song like goes straight to the heart so meaningful yessssss so amazing I absolutely love this song because it is pain but deep down love

So beautiful

Thank you! ❤❤❤

Woooo. So so beautiful ❤

Yeah this song cuts through the soul like a knife; beautiful but painful, many people can relate to when we lose someone we love. Maybe we are not that much different after all.

I love your voice, it's so beautiful. Here in liberty Kentucky beauty often gets you hurt and there is not much love at all, to hear your voice brings peace to my wings and soul. Sugars hill will always be the farm of sorrows, the gallows. That's where I dwell. So sad. They are all still here in this place, the sadness isn't bearable so thank you for adding beauty to my life. JBR. They call me Heather Michelle Lane Carmickle Feese of course when I was taken my name changed as did all of ours. But we are here alive still. The white t-shirt kids LOL ugghh but anyway Ray thank you. Your truly georgeous. Sending my love, Heather angel

Me and Ray share a similar story correct me if I'm wrong. He picked up a guitar quit his job on inspiration of another player "stills" I sold what I had for my guitar at 16, taught myself rays trouble album. I play ll the songs for freinds even played shows as a kid with his covers and inspiration. Now I have my first son he is 7 months old I am mid thirties and he is obsessed with guitar. See how the spark lives. He loves ray - narrow escape. I can't tell you what rays music has done for me.too much to describe. saw him on my 19th birthday alone cause all my friends we assholes. At Richards on Richards in Vancouver before they demolished the venue. Once in a lifetime

Another smash hit ❤️ like a salve for my weary soul

lost my little sister, my best friend three months ago and yesterday i lost my Mom , my rock. Im so heartbroken right now this song soothes me

Damn too good.❤

Yes thank you Ray Montange for this amazing beautiful song

This song is an experience

Gives me goose bumps, so beautiful.
